10/28 Madison, Hammonasset Beach State Park w/ Newington Adult Ed class - 20+ NORTHERN GANNETS; 2 AMERICAN BITTERNS, both in flight over marsh on very high tide. In fact while standing on the platform at the end of Williards Is. for just a few minutes, we had to scurry off when someone noticed the water rising around the steps; also 4 PECTORAL SANPIPERS in the Boulder Pool, and a number of flocks of PINE SISKINS passing through
